This is for replacement! For the Soft-Lite/Gorrell the estimate is $1000 a window. Today I am getting estimates on the other two. The first guy sells all three but says by far soft lite is the best when it come to impact windows. I am also looking at 2 sets of French doors and full side-lites made by Neuma. Also impact glass. That estimate is $7500. Crazy amounts of money!!! And the building code was changed as of last April to mandatory impact glass! So no choice there!

Good advice above. The Gorell 5400 is a very solid choice in that application. On the doors, if you are looking at 2 sets of french doors with sidelights for $7500, that really is not bad, with or without impact rating.

As a general rule, vinyl window manufacturers consider single hungs to be for budget minded people and therefore very few make a premium grade window in single hung configuration. The exception is usually manufacturers based in the southern US where single hung windows dominate. PGT may be one of those exceptions, and if they are, going with single hungs in environments where windows are rarely opened can be a great idea that offers some price reduction.

Yes that is what I just found out. Armor Impact Plus by Gorell and PGT Premier Vue only make double hung. And it seems like the PGT is more money than the Gorell. So I think I will go with the Armor Impact windows and the Neuma French door and side lites. Of course I have indoor shutters on every window that they are saying need to be removed! Shoot me now! LOL
